Looks like a good saving on what is effectively a new bike.

It might be worth ringing around to see if any of the dealers could get close to the price for a new one; they might still have an '07 in stock and the '08's are almost upon us.

Ruffy, thats a great bike by the looks of it, done nowt and a big saving on the new price. Every bike pretty much has bad points, no getting away from that, the 250 is a better option if you are starting but it will have more then enough power than you'll ever need to be honest. I bought my first Sherco in June, very pleased with the build quality and its easy to work on and maintain, its had a couple of very minor problems like carburation and leaky rear wheel but nothing major.

If your going to spend that sort of money might be worth shopping around a little as the new bikes are out or nearly out, might get a brand new one for 3ish (07 model)

Make sure you use good fuel and oil, change the gearoil every 20-25 hours or so and keep an eye on the bolts, on most bikes some can come loose after a short time. Air filter should be cleaned pretty much every ride and keep the suspension linkage well greased up
